This Sunday, please join us after worship, during O.W.L.S. for a special celebration of Pastor Laurie. As she ends her time as our Interim Lead Pastor, we would like to give Laurie a wonderful sendoff full of recounts of happy memories, heartfelt expressions of gratitude and love, and all of our sincere blessings.
“Immerse: Kingdoms” Weekly Reading Schedule and Groups
This week, we will be looking at pages 168 to 180 in our “Immerse: Kingdoms” version of the Bible. This reading will be the focus of worship this Sunday, and also the focus of discussion this week in our reading groups.
We would gladly encourage all who would like to join a reading group to consider one of the following groups:
- Men’s Group on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 – 8:45 pm
Michael Tucker and Bruce Ekblad, facilitators; meeting in the Church Office - Saturday mornings from 10 – 11:30 am
Kevin Leissner, facilitator; meeting at Don and Beth Rasmussen’s home - Sunday mornings from 9:30 – 10:30 am
Pastor Matt Mattoon, facilitator; meeting in the VCC classroom across the courtyard
Annual Easter Egg Hunt
On Easter Sunday, The Cove students and leaders will also be putting together our Annual Easter Egg Hunt for our children, which begins immediately following worship! This is sure to be a fun event for children of all ages, so be sure to invite all the kids in your life!
Easter Lilies for a Loved One
This Easter, order some Easter Lillies or Spring Flowers in honor or in memory of a loved one. On Easter Sunday, we will have a beautiful display of all the lilies and flowers that have been dedicated to your loved ones, and we will have a moment during worship to recognize the names of each individual who has been honored or memorialized.
If you would like to place an order, please find and fill out the order form included with each bulletin this Sunday, and then simply drop it in the offering plate when it goes by. Each plant costs $8 dollars and payment can be made either in the offering plate or directly to Victoria Ward.
If you would like more information, please contact Victoria Ward.
Sing in our Easter Choir!
Take part in an annual Village tradition! Join our Easter Choir to sing with us for a super special, super limited one Sunday performance on Easter Sunday (that’s April 1, which is no joke!). We will have two rehearsals beginning this Sunday, March 18, at 8:45 AM, and then again next Sunday, March 25, at the same time. Contact Gabe Rowe if you have any questions.
And then, of course, whether you are singing in the choir or not, you won’t want to miss the grand choral performance during worship on Easter Sunday!
Easter Breakfast (Please Sign Up with Mary Ann!)
The church family Easter Breakfast will be served beginning at 9:30 AM in Fireside and our new picnic table area right outside. Come to enjoy a casual meal with your brothers and sisters at VCC!
We would also like to ask, if you are able and willing to bring a dish to share for this breakfast, or help in a different way, please contact Mary Ann Sharp (909) 929-3045 to find out what is still needed and to sign up.
Notice of Transition
April 8 will be Pastor Laurie’s last Sunday in her role as our Interim Lead Pastor. Please plan to join us for worship and then stay for a celebration lunch in her honor, hosted by OWLS.
April 15 will be Pastor Matt’s first Sunday in his role as our new Lead Pastor. Please plan to join us for worship on that Sunday, as we welcome him and his family into our church family.
